Water Heater wont work in rain
We were camping on the Oregon Coast and during a several day rainy spell the pilot light on my Atwood water heater would not stay lit.
I had the pilot light tube assembly and the valve replaced and it worked, until the next rainy day.
I got it re-lit the following day (no rain) and it worked fine.
We moved to a new location and it started to rain and the pilot light went out. I relit it the next day. It worked fine for a couple of weeks even in cold and windy conditions.
Again a few days ago in the rain it went out and would not light until the rain stopped.
Other than not camping in the rain!!! Do any of you have any ideas about what is wrong??? The RV service tech thought I was crazy I think.
